Posted on June 3, 2020 by Persiflage

Today I would like to talk about a beautiful new theorem of my student Eric Stubley (see also here). The first version of Eric’s result assumed (unknown) cases of the general Ramanujan conjecture for Hilbert modular forms, and relied on … Continue reading →

The Thick Diagonal

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Persiflage

Suppose that \(F\) is an imaginary quadratic field. Suppose that \(\pi\) is a cuspidal automorphic form for \(\mathrm{GL}(2)/F\) of cohomological type, and let us suppose that it contributes to the cohomology group \(H^1(\Gamma,\mathbf{C})\) for some congruence subgroup \(\Gamma\) of \(\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathcal{O}_F)\). … Continue reading →
